Well we all asked for it

You know when you have hopes, when they tell you : We are taking all your suggestions and passing it along etc and then we get this :

Ready for a Sensation?

12.10.2016

Starting today you'll be able to pick up a
permanent Blue Devil Tortoise mount in the shop for just 1 Diamond! The
price tag isn't the only thing special about this totally relaxed
tortoise – riding around on this smooth operator, you'll move 30% slower
than on foot. Your friends will be amazed when you suddenly get into
your slow-motion groove.


Ideal for taking the pace out of adventuring or simply having a laugh, this 2-seater mount can be yours for just 1 Diamond!

Like really Gameforge?? sitting back and making fun of us ?? the players and community?? who is the the genius that came up with this?? Guess someone really wanted a slower mount than walking in game. Thx again for doing all in your power to drive more players away and having them leave, great job.

With all the things that are so needed and requested this is the very best that they could do? The real problem is it actually the very best they can do.

Personally, I think this is hilarious.
Besides, since when does a fast giant turtle make any kind of sense?

it's a toy for 1 diamond, quit raging and have some fun

Cool item tbh, I'm buying it because, why not? That being said, I believe that's not what people are complaining about.

So, there were people at Runewaker working on this. Coding it, animating it, testing it (although looking at the game's track record it's safe to say they might've skipped this part /banter), instead of fixing/implementing something else that would actually be useful.

So unless they released a mount that has been in the system for years, akin to the release of the 6-person mount a few years ago, or the people who worked on this new mount is different from the people in charge of fixing bugs or implementing any of the REALLY GOOD ideas on both the US/EU forums... this was a waste.



And that's just my 2 cents.

Can we get a mount that instead of us riding it, it rides us?

I've always wanted a 2 seater with no appearance other than to have the passenger getting a piggy-back ride from the driver

I like cool cheap priced unique items such as this, simply to collect. :) However when things like this are done, it should not replace a night where we would usually get a sale on useful items players need. Just my opinion...

ps- give a rune hot sale!! 1 different rune a week, priced at 50% off, on a weekday night. Missed the last 2 rune sales cause they always weekends. Also would be nice to have some cheaper priced runes (50% off rather 33% off) so TH rune prices are more realistic.

Would be fine if they could at least let you gift the damn thing.

And that's just my 2 cents.

I agree with Magío. If they had a separate team of people who could do nothing but this mount, then it's OK. If it's the same team that is supposed to be fixing things that are already broken, then it's a waste - I have a mount that has been broken for years, should have fixed it first. That said, I do want to try the new mount.

Update:
I got the mount, but I get some motion sickness because it is rocking from side to side :-(

i'm guessing people making mounts and people fixing mechanic bugs are two different people.

it's just speculation, but making amount would mainly entail creating a model, adding the mount as a buff and slapping it on an item, all of which /could/ be done by someone foreign to the game design.
